Everybody Talks
*
it started off easy enough
the goal was to just get through Monday
don't know why it's always so rough
there's something off about that day
the phone calls were endless
e-mails galore
when it began to seem hopeless
I headed straight for the door
a break for my sanity
some grub for my belly
I'm low on the vanity
but I heard someone say...Kelli
I turned with a smile
awaiting a smile in return
but the tone, it seemed hostile
and my stomach did churn
could they be talking about me (?)
that face isn't familiar
no, it couldn't be
but the conversation was killer
this Kelly was a fiend
that's why it's spelled with a y
ya know what I mean
my name ends with an I
so, just to be clear
I leaned in a bit closer
it was so hard to hear
but now, I needed the closure
Finally, I couldn't stand it
you know, I just had to be sure
only one way to handle
a topic so crass and obscure
so, I turned around
and said as sweet as could be
hey girls, that tone you're taking is loud
could you adjust it for me
and before they could shoot
that mind your own, glare
I smiled faking, being cute
with an icy mom stare
I winked to be civil
and mumbled under my breath
besides your talk is drivel
and here was my sudden death
I'm the Kelli you're dissin'
and if you want the truth, you should ask
I know that man you've been kissin'
that's why I divorced his ass
